…… and came across this one: 25 Random Things About Me. It is from 2009, but it's funny that it's all still so true. I have updated it a bit for the aging of my son and such of course. You may all remember that there were so many of these questions/lists going around Facebook years ago. This one in particular allowed my new FB friends and I to get to know each other a little better - it seemed that this was FB's way of "breaking the ice" like those silly games folks played at cocktail parties in the past. Hopefully this will allow my readers a bit of insight and that you'll stay tuned for most posts about me.
01. I think my son, my husband and my two bosses are truly the funniest and smartest men I know - each of them for entirely different reasons
02. I should (and deep down need to) spend more time with my friends
03. If I could live in any other time, it be Victorian England - specifically London at the time of Jack the Ripper...I'm sure I'd be an excellent pub wench
04. I separate things of mixed colors (vegetables, Skittles, paper clips, clothes) and odd numbers (5 notes in a folder won't do, must be 4 or 6)
05. My fantasy reality show would be Kitchen Idol where Gordon Ramsey and Simon Cowell would take turns going off on and putting down singing chefs
06. I have way too much useless knowledge floating around in my head about pop culture, movies, TV, Hollywood stars, music, etc.
07. I am a tad more than slightly obsessed with Bon Jovi
08. I love my job because it's challenging and I'm good at it
09. I love gloomy weather, particularly if rain and thunderstorms are involved
10. I spoil my son rotten and am overly lenient with him to make sure he doesn't grow up the way I did
11. I love to sing, but I have friends that have exceptional voices - better than Idol voices for sure
12. My husband's nickname for me is Snuggawuggums; my son's is Momster
13. I used to spend more than 270 nights away from home traveling for work
14. I took a speed-reading course eons ago and read exceptionally fast; this is only bad because I buy too many books and should be going to the library instead
15. I hate parades
16. I have been to many countries around the world for work but haven't seen anything there except the offices, the hotels, the taxis and the airports - by choice; I am not a tourist by any means
17. Many of the significant men in my life have been named James; the most important is Sweet Baby James, now 21
18. I miss not having pets at home and have to settle for the one I have on Facebook
19. I go out of my way to avoid driving on the highway when I can
20. I have a teddy bear room in my house
21. I love being tan - but not as tan as I was when Bill and I owned our tanning salon
22. I would prefer to live in a renovated loft condo downtown and not in the suburbs
23. I could put BBQ sauce on pretty much anything
24. I love Goldschlagger and pretty much anything that tastes like cinnamon
25. I have to sleep with at least one foot outside of the covers
